I'm not sure if you posted this for feedback or just to get the player's name out or both? But I'll offer some feedback.
"Will outwork who you already have on your team"? "No off-field issues"?
Shouldn't this type of stuff be saved for when his high school and summer coaches are contacted? Wouldn't it mean more coming from them?
Aside from being a bit overproduced and that mind-numbing music track, is it really necessary to extend the length of a video like this by flashing text across the screen that is likely already in the bio that he'd send to coaches or can be posted on a berecruited or other profile web site? (i.e. SAT scores, pitch arsenal, etc.) "Understands what student-athlete means"? Don't you think coaches would figure this out from his SATs and GPA?
I only got through about half of this nearly-5-minute video, as it seemed a bit repetitive even. I would suggest you might trim some fat, ditch the music, and let the player's athleticism and mechanics be the star.
My 2 cents.

For just bullpens I think this is way to long. After awhile I found myself drifting away from watching it. You mention that he is a "Stud QB". Why not take a minute of his Bullpens off the footage and show him playing QB to show off his athleticism and his arm. On film with no sound I believe that a coach can see an arm a lot better when he throws a football that when he throws a baseball.
Will outwork who you all ready have!
You don't know a dam thing about who I have is what a college coach is going to think when he sees that.
If you are the players dad and you see that tell em to get that line off of there, and don't give em any more money.
and yes Colton looks like a fine baseball player

Good looking kid. Besides what the others have already said, he deserves a better video.
Shorts? No cap? Bull pens? Some dude standing in the video? The video was better suited for the catcher.
Get dressed, cut the music, cut the random comments, get some game film with the stands going crazy.
Who cares about the football?
Why is the BLP slide in the middle instead of at the very end and huge instead of small?
Can he hit? What else does he play? How is he going to help my program (besides outplaying my seniors of course)?

Not that these are perfect either, and they're not for a pitcher. But we did receive some positive feedback during the recruiting process. Sometimes, simpler is better.
Mostly Winter/Spring
(No, that's not me screaming "Dig Kevin! DIG!" during his triple to RF. Just a very supportive dad of a teammate.

I guess the original poster wasn't really looking for feedback and instead was just interested in getting the player's name out there and/or getting HIS name out there.
Hey Sandman, good to see K's videos, looking forward to the RI diamonds opening up soon!
Thanks. Me too. Almost time to put the cage up! Senior year already. Man, how fast it went by.
Amen!
Thank you for your feedback. Colton Kalmus got 85% scholarship to Kansas State from that video an is doing well for Coach Hill and Coach Reynolds at Kansas State. He's gonna be a good one.
God bless.
God bless.
Really? JUST from the video? The coaches never saw him live?
85%?? Really?
I saw him a few times and thought he was dang good. But 85%? Video must've have worked.

does he play in shorts?
He is "tipping" off his pitches.

I would worry about a coch giving out scholarships based on a video
Would you buy a house from a video?

hmmm... I bought and sold a few cars based on pictures.
someone once said looks can be deceiving. As a coach I want to see the kid pitch in a game against good competition. Just a thought.
